West Surrey CTC Audax events – 31 May 2015

Audax flagOur new feather flag flies outside the Elstead Village Hall on Sunday 31st May for the three Audax events organised by Nick and Marion Davison, Peter Hackman and Bob McLeod.

We opened the Elstead Village Hall control at 0645 in steady rain and strong winds. Despite the bad weather, forty six riders on the Stonehenge 200k, Danebury 150k and Elstead 100k braved the elements as they headed out to Whitchurch and were rewarded with sunshine and tail winds in the afternoon as they headed back from Alresford.

The last two riders finished at 9.15pm just as it was getting dark. We had some impressive riders taking part: two riders on the 200k are due to take part in the PBP in August and another two were training for a race from Belgium to Turkey this summer.

Sunday 31 May Audax events

On Sunday 31st May our club is organising three audax events from Elstead village hall: the Stonehenge 200k, the Danebury 150k and the Elstead 100k. See the Audax UK website for more details. Entries are accepted on the day.

Thanks and regards,

Nick

Evening ride, Tuesday 19 May

Start: Godalming, Crown Court 19.00.

An easy ride of about 2hrs on lanes and good tracks, using the ‘Rhododendron Route’ that proved popular last year.

We’ll finish at a pub on the outskirts of Godalming. The forecast is for a dry evening after a showery day. See you there!

Sunday’s All-Day Intermediate ride 24th May

I regret to inform you that there will be no official West Surrey CTC All-Day Intermediate ride on Sunday 24 May.  Roger Philo was planning to lead this ride but is unfortunately in Yorkshire recovering from a broken hip.  As none of the other regular leaders for these rides is free to lead the ride that particular day, the official ride is cancelled.
This does not prevent any riders who still turn up for the advertised start time of 9.00am at Guildford Library from organising their own ad hoc ride on the day.
Normal service will be resumed in June!
